Freedom Flags Ordered for Every School to Commemorate September 11
September 11, 2019 marks the 18th anniversary of terrorist attacks on American soil, killing 3,000 people in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. To commemorate this historic event, Section 1-510 of the Code of Virginia officially designates the Freedom Flag as the official Flag of Remembrance of September 11, 2001.
A Freedom Flag has been ordered for every school in FCPS. Each school is asked to display the Freedom Flag on Wednesday, September 11.
Designed by a Virginian, the Freedom Flag features ten elements in a red, white, and blue design commemorating all who lived and died on that tragic day.
More information about the flag is available from the Freedom Flag Foundation, a non-profit public charity created to oversee the distribution of the Freedom Flag to schools, colleges, and universities.
Clermont’s Back To School Night is tonight! There will be two sessions, listed below. There will be a PTA meeting right before BTSN starts.

Dear Clermont Families,
Clermont kicked off yesterday with an exciting Pep Rally to introduce our Boosterthon, and we are thrilled about this year’s program! We’ve asked the fundraising experts at Booster to power our two-week Clermont Elementary School Fun Run program, making our fundraising simpler, more profitable, and more FUN. Our Clermont Elementary School Fun Run includes EVERY student in a fun, fitness event that focuses on character while helping our school raise much-needed funds.
This year, our entire school is raising funds for School Programs. Our goal is to raise $25,000, and we need YOUR help!
Here’s how you can support Clermont Elementary School:
-
Register your student on funrun.com by searching “Clermont Elementary School.” Once you do, your student will receive a FREE GIFT just for being registered. Then, use funrun.com to log pledges for your child.
-
Reach out to sponsors. Every student’s goal is to connect with 10 sponsors. And with funrun.com’s smart sharing tools, reaching out to sponsors is easier than ever. The easiest way to get pledges is to simply click the Facebook share button on your student’s pledge page. Plus, with a few clicks you can create a custom Student Star Video to share on social media. You can also use the Easy Emailer to connect with friends and family. As you gather pledges, be sure to record each sponsor’s e-mail address so they have the opportunity to easily pay for your student’s pledge online via credit card.
-
Ask your child about the MindSpark: Wild West Character Lesson of the Day! This year’s theme combines S.T.E.A.M skills with character-building. In this thrilling Sci-Fi-Western theme, your students and the MindSpark kids must compete in six “Character Duels” to rescue Dr. Shock. Along the way, they’ll learn about Honesty, Gratitude, Generosity, Kindness, and Humility. Join along by watching the fun character videos with your child on funrun.com.

Come to the Clermont Elementary School Fun Run on Tuesday, 9/19/2019! All students are included in the Clermont Fun Run, regardless of financial participation. Remember, students will be running 30-35 laps, and we would love for you to come out and cheer!
